  • Sesshomaru is here!

    We get to meet one of my favorite characters now: Sesshomaru! It can tell there is family issues between him and Inuyasha. We also learn some info about Inuyasha's mother and father. Even though Sesshomaru is one of my favorite characters I think it was really low for him to use Inuyasha's mother like that, and then have it turn out not to be his actually mother. He really wants that sword really bad. The best part of this episode is Kagome is seeing a new side to Inuyasha and also understanding why he is the way he is. It tough growing up as a half-demon.

    “I prefer not to think of him.” Man! Inuyasha’s brother is MEAN!!! After meeting Sesshomaru and seeing what he can do, we cut to a steamy love scene with Inuyasha and Kagome (giggle) and then meet Myoga the Cowardly Flea. He tells the story of Inuyasha’s father and mother, and Inuyasha gets pissed and leaves, to find himself face to face with his poo-head bro and a giant demon, holding his mom! Inuyasha gets all weird and gets captured by the big demon, but his mom saves him and kagome. Or Does she?!?!? *Lean back and steeple fingers* Inuyasha wakes up and goes to listen to some sappy story from his mom, while lays there, paralyzed, trying to tell him that his “mom” has no reflection! That’s not his mom!...

    Sesshomaru's very powerful full-demon brother appears. Sesshomaru who has taken over his father's role of lord of the lands, id looking for something...



    His is seeking a path to the most powerful sword; a sword forged from his father's fang. He believes Inuyahsa knows where to find it, and he will do anything to find it.



    Inuyasha is match for his brother and is powerless to stop his onslaught of attacks. Sesshomaru also employees an arsenal of emotional and personal attacks he can use against Inuyasha.



    Sesshomaru mercilessly mocks Inuyasha, using his love for his dead mother against him.



    This is a wonderful episode and introduces the coolest character of the series!

    Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's full blooded brother! When we first see him, he is riding a cart that is floating in the sky. Wait...floating in the sky? It turns out Sesshomaru is trying to find their fathers tomb. And what other way then to fight Inuyasha and try to get it out of him. Psh, Sesshomaru is way to good for that...instead he devises a plan to get it out of him...the Un-Mother. During the season, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha have a series of fights to see which is stronger. But they never finish. One always walks away, pledging that one day they will kill the other. Sesshomaru has a few allies that walk around with him. Rin, a human child which he cares for deeply, and a imp-like toad, Jaken. A-un is another lesser Ryu that helps the group when needed, but it's mainly a pet for Sesshomaru.
  • Sesshoumaru appears...

    "Superb"
    The moment everyone has been waiting for, at least i was waiting for it xD Sesshoumaru appears in all his glory (not THAT glory) He makes a great mysterious character and makes up for Inuyasha's flaws. If you compare this episode with later episodes (namely the ones where Rin travels with him) you can truly see how much his character has grown. He appears a bit obsessed in this episode though, it became a bit too clear that he wanted Tessaiga. Other than that this episode had no flaws. They should have made Sesshoumaru appear more throughout the series though.
  • InuYasha has a full blooded demonic older brother who's looking for their father's tomb.

    "Superb"
    This episode introduces InuYasha's older brother, Sesshoumaru. He's a full-blooded demon and isn't as caring as InuYasha. He's much more powerful than InuYasha, and likes to manipulate things. I think Sesshoumaru is a great character. He's personally one of my favorites. We also find out what InuYasha's mother looks like and reveals his past with her.



    Sesshoumaru is looking for the "fang" and kills anything in his way of finding it. His henchman, Jyaken, is using the staff of two heads to locate the "fang". After years of failed attempts, and failures now, Jyaken tells Sesshoumaru that the staff has been acting up since InuYasha has awaken. Sessoumaru then plans to pay InuYasha a visit.



    Kagome is speaking to Kaede about InuYasha. When she mentions InuYasha's mother, InuYasha gets up, walks out, and informs Kagome that she died along time ago. InuYasha goes and sits in a tree when Kagome just stares at him a while thinking he hates his own human mother. Suddenly, InuYasha jumps down on Kagome and makes her hit the ground as well. He informs her that something's coming.



    Out of the sky, a carriage being pulled by demons appears. Inside the carriage is InuYasha's mother. But it couldn't be since she died when he was little. Then Sesshoumaru appears on the shoulder of a huge demon he's using to do his work for him. InuYasha engages in battle and is almost injured by Sesshoumaru when his mother jumps in the way and sends them to an alternate dimension. This dimension is known to be the border between the Spirit World and the human world.



    Upon arrival, Kagome notices that she cannot move. She looks into the water and see's the reflection of Inuyasha and his mother. She then realizes that the woman InuYasha thinks is his mother doesn't have a face. She tries to speak, but cannot. She knows that this indeed cannot be InuYasha's mother, but Inuyasha believes it is, for he has not seen her reflection.
  • Sesshomaru is InuYasha's demon brother. The mere mention of his brother's name infuriates him. Jaken,Sesshomaru's vassel, informs his master that InuYasha has awoken from Kikyo's curse. He's looking for his father's sword, Tetsusaiga.

    Sesshomaru know InuYasha's weakness. He loved his human mother, Izayoi. Sesshomaru uses this love to lure his brother to battle. Sesshomaru transforms a demon to resemble the beautiful woman. Sesshomaru finds his father's burial site a in the black pearl. The black pearl was found in InuYasha's right eye.How can InuYasha defeat his elder brother? Sesshomaru is incredibly powerful. He can use his light whip and his poison claws. The Tetsusaiga, it turns out, can only be wielded by InuYasha. Sesshomaru is burned every time he touches the weapon. At the end, InuYasha draws the sword. Sesshomaru shows his demon form in this episode. Sadly, InuYasha cuts off his brother's left arm. Poor guy!

  • Oh ho ho, the ep. that everyone's been waiting, the first appearance of :drumroll: Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's full-demon brother. But there's more to it than that...

    "Perfect"
    This ep. is definitely really interesting because it starts to unravel the mystery of the demon nature. It starts where Kagome brings a First Aid kit for Inuyasha's wounds, but they had already healed... if you hadn't seen the previous ep., it wouldn't make a difference either way. I guess in that, Inuyasha's body is designed kind of like Wolverine from X-men (he also could heal wounds pretty quickly).



    Then we met Sesshomaru, who has been seeking "a fang" as he called it, that was left by his and Inuyasha's father. He confronts his brother, asking where the tomb is, but of course, Inuyasha has no idea, since his memories of his father are close to zero. Sesshomaru then uses an underhanded tactic to get information out of it, bringing Inuyasha's human mother back from the dead.



    During those scenes, the relationship between Inuyasha and his mother gets some light shed on it... and while he refused to talk about her in the beginning of the ep, it seems that he was really close to her... more is revealed in the next ep.

    This guy is sweet, when starting the series you think that Inuyasha is this super tough guy, doesn't take anything from anyone. He may even be over the top, like Wolverine, but when you meet his brother you find out how un evil he really is. He is definatly the best villian ever, I would say he is like Venom to Spider-man. He is everything Inuyasha is and more. This episode is also when they introduce the sword that their father left for his son Inuyasha. With this sword his brother will become unstoppable so he is trying to claim it. It is a race to their fathers resting place where a battle will ensue to claim the sword.
  • It's somewhere close, yet in the most unexpecting place.

    Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's older brother, is the type of villian who rarely opens up his eyes, making it look he just did weed. He also rarely panics or raise his voice. We've seen them before, right? But none other than Sesshomaru. This guy has been looking everywhere for the legendary Tesuisga that was crafted from the fang of their father. Sesshomaru's impatience leads him to Inuyasha, believing that the entrance to their father's grave, where Tetsuiga is held captive, is within his sight. Quite literally.



    Sesshomaru was probably the character to start the trend of calm antagonists in anime. There's no one else that can compete with such a gentle, yet fierce personality. There's also another reason why this episode was pretty good. The reason why I continue watching Inuyasha is because of the concepts and story. It's so neatly tied together and so unique.

    Sesshoumaru is indeed a very important character in the story. He links us to Inu yasha and his past and creates a damn good story line. This adds an extra twist to the story line meaning that the focus of the story is not just to find the Shikon Shards and for Inu Yasha to get the girl. For Sesshoumaru's character to be successful he must have a brilliant entrance into the series and I think that it was done brilliantly.
  • The beggining of Sesshomaru.

    "Perfect"
    The episode starts off with InuYasha older brother, Sesshomaru, looking for his father's grave. He seeks the Tessaiga. Sesshomaru attacks InuYasha because he believes that he knows where his father's grave is. It's beggining of one of the greatest characters in InuYasha, Sesshomaru. I loved this episode for one simple reason. It's the backbone to an even better episode coming up. Not much action here unless you count the beggining where Sesshomaru kills a bunch of dogs. But believe me, the next few episodes will be action packed. There was a couple of great comedic scenes between InuYasha and Kagome. All in all, I recommend you to watch this episode because it is an important episode. It isn't a filler.
